oh shit .. 05:15 in the morning

just spend a night researching #US #consumer houshold #debt, without noticing

at least you can profit of my stupidity because I'm telling now that the world is clearly headed into a 2008 style global #EconomicCrisis

epicenter will again be the #USA

this time it isn't going to be just a #mortage default crisis but a everything default (#AutoLoans, #CreditCard, #StudentDebt, ..)

and the trigger is #tariffs & #doge adding to an already financially hurting nation
a banker standing on wall street, begging for a bailout


" The #debt is growing because the country keeps #Borrowing to finance an increasingly large gap between #GovernmentSpending and #Revenue. (..) What’s the Solution? "

🤔 Judging by their actions, the solution of the #Trump - #Junta is to slash revenue drastically while raising expenditure to unprecedented levels.

(While their other "solution" is to declare bancruptcy [#MarAlLagoAccord] - because the daddy of the United States will of course bail the country out as he always did in the past. 🙄)


Kudos to Micael Sheen - putting his money where his mouth is and also exposing some of the inequities in debt in the UK. Available on C4 catch up.

Due to the murky issue of reselling debt, Sheen discovers he can buy £1m’s worth of debt for a relatively paltry £100,000. Over two years, this documentary shows him working towards buying up the deband writing it off”.

In an unconventional answer to a roundtable on her last book, **The Promise and Peril of Credit: What a Forgotten Legend about Jews and Finance Tells Us about the Making of Commercial Society**, Francesca Trivellato reads the echos of her subject in the recent installation of concept artist Christoph Büchel, "Monte di pietà," at the Venice Biennale.

You can call "we don't pay you any interest anymore and if you want your money back, ask again in 100 years" whatever you like. #MarAlLagoAccord if you want to.

But you can be damn sure about one thing: your foreign #creditors will call it "#default on sovereign #debt".

2008 really was a walk in the park on a sunny day

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.

A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.

'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

A collage of seven charts critiquing socioeconomic trends tied to Ronald Reagan’s presidency, each marked with his face & arrows highlighting the 1980s: 

1. A chart shows rising income inequality from 1947 to 2017, with disparities widening in the early 1980s. 
2. A graph compares healthcare spending to life expectancy, with the U.S. diverging in 1985 due to high costs & limited gains. 
3. A chart shows the top marginal tax rate dropping sharply during Reagan’s presidency. 
4. A graph tracks federal debt as a percentage of GDP, which begins rising steeply in the 1980s. 
5. A chart highlights growing U.S. debt in the 1980s, both in 2014 dollars & as a percentage of GDP. 
6. A chart compares tuition, income, & minimum wage growth in Illinois since 1970, with tuition surging in the early 1980s. 
7. Two graphs on incarceration show prison populations rising sharply after Reagan’s 1980s "War on Drugs." 

Charts reveal long-term impacts of Reagan-era policies on inequality, debt, & incarceration.


About American Great Economic Fail

The U.S. has wasted its entire blood and treasure on war. Imagine what the U.S. could have built with $14 trillion dollars? Where the U.S. could have been in relation to China for that amount? As someone else noted, the U.S. could have very well built its own “one belt and road” project for that money, connecting the world and reaping untold benefits.

#Western system is based on the actual institutionalized economic sabotage and subversion of the developing world.

About ukraine's debt to western creditors


Ukraine's public debt has doubled in two years of war. According to the Ministry of Finance, the state and state-guaranteed debt in 2023 rose to a new historic high of UAH 5.519 trillion or $145.32 billion. Over the year, the figure in hryvnia increased by 35.4% (UAH 1.444 trillion), in currency - by 30.4% ($33.9 billion).

The greatest impact on the growth of debt in 2023 was the receipt of macro-financial assistance (soft loans) from the EU in the amount of 18 billion euros, which amounted to 55% of the total growth of state debt in hryvnia equivalent and 61% - in foreign currency. Expenditures on servicing the state debt in 2023 amounted to 8.2% of the general fund expenditures of the state budget (compared to 6.5% in 2022 and 12.4% in 2021).

Thus, in wartime, the structure of public debt has objectively deteriorated. Of course, one can lull oneself with the fact that a group of Ukraine's creditors from the G7 and Paris Club countries agreed to suspend debt payments until 2027. But this is a weak consolation.

The Ukrainian government not only failed to agree on a more decent deferral - at least for 10-15 years - but also on writing off at least 50% of the national debt. Moreover, they could not agree on reducing the interest rate. And all this avalanche of debts will fall on the country in 2027.


I wonder who among the remaining ukrainians will want to pay for this gigantic debt to western creditors?
